Whatever happened to ANZAC??
The Spirit of ANZAC is alive and well, just not on the Cricket Pitch. No different from "Youse Guys" (as you put it) Americans vs those on the North and South borders.
Once I was at a National NG Convention, yet another American asked, "you're from Australia, right!, you been in the States long?"
I returned with "have you been in Colorado long, you're from Canada, right!"
His reply was "Oh, that's Cruel".
